abstract
We calculate the diffusion coefficients of charged cosmic rays (CR) propagating in regular and turbulent magnetic fields. If the magnetic field is dominated by an isotropic turbulent component, we find that CRs reside too long in the Galactic disc. As a result, CRs overproduce secondary nuclei like boron for any reasonable values of the strength and the coherence length of an isotropic turbulent field. We conclude therefore that the propagation of Galactic CRs has to be strongly anisotropic because of a sufficiently strong regular field and/or of an anisotropy in the turbulent field. As a consequence, the number of sources contributing to the local CR flux is reduced by a factor ${\cal O}(100)$ compared to the case of isotropic CR diffusion.

Simulations show that drift dominance over diffusion can create a knee at PeV energies if parallel diffusion becomes energy-independent above 1 TeV, though some setups fail to match observed grammage.
